China has banned major tech companies from purchasing chips from Nvidia to enhance domestic manufacturing.
The Financial Times reported that China’s Cyberspace Management (CAC), the country’s internet regulator, has informed the Tech Giants, including Bytedance and e-Commerce Giant Alibaba, owners of Tiktok, that they will end what Santa Clara-based Chip Giants have made for the Chinese market.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he was “disappointed” by the report.
“We will continue to support the Chinese government and Chinese companies as they wish,” he told a press conference in London.
Several companies have ordered tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D chips and have started testing and verification work with NVIDIA’s server suppliers.
Despite testing, China’s demand for chips is limited, according to a Reuters news agency report earlier this week.
On Wall Street, Nvidia’s stock has fallen over a ban on the world’s second-largest cloud computing market. As of 11:30am (15:30 GMT) in New York, it fell 2.6%.
Escalating tension
The ban comes days after the Chinese government accused the company of violating anti-Monopoly laws. This focused on the H20 chip, an earlier version that was explicitly designed for the Chinese market.
The US and China also concluded their latest trade talks in Madrid this week, with the White House announced that they would take over Tiktok’s US operations, leaving the parent company’s ordinance in minority stakes.
Successive US administrations have limited access to China’s advanced chips, prompting Beijing to press domestic companies to undermine industry leaders like Nvidia from US suppliers.
Huang will be in London at the same time as US President Donald Trump’s visit to the state to provide the UK division of Stargate, a Trump-backed AI infrastructure project led by Openai.
Huang said he hopes to discuss the escalation with the president at a state banquet on Wednesday evening.
“I’ll see him tonight and he’ll probably ask me,” fans said when asked if he had told Trump about the development.
Huang emphasized that the cloud computing giant “supports” both countries as they “sort these geopolitical policies.”
